Use for first-time setup, incomplete setup, or profile-underdetermined spec recovery. **Install:** ```bash npx degit https://github.com/m0n0x41d/haft/tree/main/internal/cli/skill/h-onboard ~/.claude/skills/h-onboard ``` ## README # h-onboard — Bootstrap Haft through one readable setup contract Contract truth: project-profile onboarding and automatic project-memory setup are **V9 CONTRACT** capabilities. Source, schema, skill, and local-test presence is not installed-runtime proof. A current readiness claim requires **EXACT-CANDIDATE EVIDENCE** from P14 tied to one exact candidate; RC or release status additionally requires release authority. Do not infer **CURRENT PRODUCT** status from contract inclusion or evidence alone. ## 1. Read one onboarding status If `.haft/` is absent, run the explicitly requested `haft init`; do not hand-roll its state directories. Then call: ```text mcp__haft__haft_onboard(action="status") ``` Interpret only its closed result kind: - `needs_init` — initialize, reconnect when instructed, and repeat `status`; - `needs_profile` — follow `next_action`; an eligible supported singleton routes through `haft init --core-only`, otherwise prepare a profile review; - `profile_review_ready` — present the readable review and its exact next act; - `ready` — only project setup is ready: the canonical profile and structured project memory are available. It does **not** establish specification applicability, spec health, SpecSection lifecycle, or release readiness. For specification work, read `h-spec`/`haft spec status` separately. `haft init` installs default project memory as part of initialization. Never ask the operator to enable, defer, select, or understand a memory schema. If a legacy or partial installation reports `needs_init`, rerun `haft init`; do not route initial memory setup through `h-decide`. Do not expose or ask the operator to choose internal schema composites, revision heads, staging records, or implementation letters. `status` is a readable setup projection, not authority and not performed setup Work. ## 2. Prepare a project-profile review `haft init` may admit `origin=detector_default` without a review only when the detector observation is complete and non-truncated, confidence is supported, exactly one scope is suggested, no canonical profile exists, and any existing review is an unchanged Haft-generated carrier. It never changes an existing profile. A human-authored, semantically enriched, or foreign review blocks this automatic path and remains operator-mediated profile-review work. When status reports `origin=detector_default` and `profile_override_eligible=true`, `profile_prepare` may prepare a reviewed replacement and a direct, unambiguous operator request may apply it. Successful application appends a `host_routed_operator_request` admission. Profiles already marked `host_routed_operator_request`, or carrying legacy `explicit_operator` or `legacy_unknown` provenance, are not replaceable through this initial onboarding path. Use the bounded profile-change route below. When status returns `needs_profile`, call: ```text mcp__haft__haft_onboard(action="profile_prepare") ``` Omitting `scopes` uses repository detection. If the basis is insufficient, the tool returns `needs_scope_review` without writing canonical profile state. When the operator supplies a scope, use only the readable shape: ```json { "action": "profile_prepare", "basis": "", "scopes": [ { "scope_id": "", "label": "", "realization_kind": "software", "evidence_paths": [""] } ] } ``` `basis` is top-level on the `profile_prepare` request, alongside `scopes`; it is required when repository detection cannot establish the scope. Evidence paths may be empty for an empty repository when that readable basis is explicit. Detected responses retain at most 64 canonical representative paths per scope and report `evidence_path_count` plus `evidence_paths_truncated`; truncation is an output bound, not evidence that the repository observation was incomplete. `realization_kind` is `software` or `non_software`. A `profile_review_prepared` or `profile_review_reused` result writes only the non-binding review carrier; `canonical_profile_changed` remains false. Automatic `h-onboard` may inspect and prepare, but it must not apply. After the readable review and engineering assessment are current, route only a direct, unambiguous operator choice of that exact profile and scope to: ```bash haft onboard profile apply ``` Do not require a skill name or ask for a second confirmation after that valid request. A bare `да` is usable only as the answer to one current unambiguous profile brief. Report the readable scope and applicability result, not internal profile machinery. ### Change one existing scope relation A missing `entity_reference` does not make `TargetSystemSpec` underdetermined and is never an onboarding prerequisite for specification lifecycle. Do not prepare a profile change merely to make a spec carrier applicable. Use the bounded profile-change route only when the operator directly asks to add or replace the relation itself. Prepare a predecessor-pinned review with the exact current `scope_id` and operator-selected `entity_ref`: ```text mcp__haft__haft_onboard( action="profile_change_prepare", scope_id="", entity_ref="" ) ``` This action may only create or reuse `.haft/profile-change-review.json`. It must report `canonical_profile_changed=false`. The carrier pins the current admission ref, digest, payload digest, and ledger revision and can express only one `entity_ref` replacement; it cannot edit scope kind or another profile relation. Present the readable predecessor and delta. Do not infer the target from memory rank, a similarly named entity, repository path, or detector rank. After one direct, unambiguous operator selection of that exact relation review, apply it through: ```bash haft onboard profile change apply ``` Application records `host_routed_operator_request` and fails closed if the canonical ledger head changed after review preparation. A verified successful apply consumes the ephemeral review carrier; its exact WorkInput remains in the durable admission history. This effect changes profile identity metadata only; it does not approve, rebaseline, reopen, or otherwise advance a SpecSection. Missing setup, known absence, or explicit abstention does not block unrelated already-authorized Work. Never establish an EntityOfConcern or persist typed memory merely because a read could not resolve it. ## 3. Continue to applicable specifications Only after exact project applicability is readable, call `mcp__haft__haft_spec_section(action="lifecycle")` for carriers applicable to the selected concern. Do not draft a `SoftwareSystemSpec` for a non-software scope or an unresolved profile. For draft or clarify, follow `workflow_intent`, ground edits in repository evidence, run `haft spec check`, and inspect lifecycle again. Approve, rebaseline, and reopen remain explicit human lifecycle gates. Read README, build/test configuration, source entry points, existing specs, and relevant decisions before drafting. Ask only for facts that cannot be recovered without invention. Do not create an onboarding ProblemCard by default. The sequence above is the local onboarding method, not the project's general reasoning order. `TargetSystemSpec` and `SoftwareSystemSpec` are Haft local-practice carriers, not FPF Core kinds by label. Every declared realization scope requires `TargetSystemSpec`; an optional profile entity relation strengthens exact identity-bearing use but does not gate applicability. Preserve object/description/carrier, suggestion/declaration, and plan/Work boundaries; use `h-spec` for detailed lifecycle rules.
